Agisoft Metashape 2.2.0 pre-release

[Dieter]

After the orthomosaic option returned an incorrect alignment of the orthoimage after view, I tried the orthomosaic by control points option. The orientation of the image is now fine, unfortunately the texture (from Textured Model) is bad and has imperfections.

When selecting Texture from tiled model, I have no way to select the tiled model when I select the option "from view" or "from control" points.

I have now textured a large block model and want to create views of it from fixed directions with fixed pixel size, so far all possibilities have failed.

What other options do I have?

Hello Dieter,

We will fix the issue related to Current View projection plane in the next 2.2.0 update.

Meanwhile I can suggest to try using marker-based plane definition.

AI masking currently only works online.  As of right now it has to download the trained models data every time it's used. But if the Agisoft servers are down you can't use it. Please give the user the option to store the trained models package if the servers are unavailable.

Hello Mak,

Thank you for reporting, we'll look into it.

Alexey,

This happened 2 weeks ago while the servers/website was down. Couldn't run the AI masking feature because Metashape needed to download the models every time the process was started.

Some users need to be able to work completely offline, so that should be a consideration as well.

Hello Mak and Jed,

It seems to be more like a bug. Providing that the trained model is already downloaded, it should work even when no Internet connection is available. I think we will be able to fix it in the next 2.2.0 pre-release update.

• Updated network processing server to store its state in the database.

Finally what I'm looking for.

We have updated 2.2.0 pre-release to build 19440:

the issue with the AI masking in offline mode should be fixed now. Also the problems related to the new checkbox "save project after each step" in the main workflow operations dialogs should be resolved.

Hello, Agisoft
Texturing a mesh with well aligned spherical images leads to a complete mad texture.

Hello José,

Can you provide a couple of screenshots and also confirm that the problem is not related to NVIDIA 565-566 drivers bug (same problem if blending is performed on CPU only)?

I have just tried to build texture based on spherical panoramas in 2.2.0.19440 and cannot see any issues.

[JMR]

Yes, it was gpu driver... Thank you

What is the NVIDIA 565-566 drivers bug? I am currently using Metashape Pro version 2.1.3 build 18946 with NVIDIA driver 566.14, after running Build_Texture the texture looks really messed up, but Build Orthomosaic works fine. What version NVIDIA driver is recommended?

I just saw the thread for the pre-release this evening. I downloaded it and will start using it.
